Student Life

There is much more to being a student at Catholic Theological Union than the classes, read­ings, and papers typically associated with graduate work. CTU is a place where students from all walks of life and corners of the globe come together and build a faith community that reflects the diverse face of the Catholic Church today. From the beginning, CTU has also been dedicated to ecumenical and interreligious dialogue and welcomes students from the Jewish, Muslim, and other Christian traditions.

Join the CTU community for an evening of fun, food, and festivity! Taste of CTU is an annual event with food and entertainment and an opportunity to celebrate the rich cultural diversity of CTU. If you are able, please bring food to share. Also, please share your gifts of song, dance, poetry, or any type of entertainment you can offer to reflect the richness of cultures at CTU. All are welcome!

CTU has had the enormous good fortune to be the recipient of five paintings by noted artist Janet McKenzie. Ms. McKenzie’s painting, “Jesus of the People,” was the winner of National Catholic Reporter’s competition in 1999 to find the face of Jesus for a new millennium.
